Indicate the correct order of the sequence of events occurring during congestive heart failure. Order the sentences (Hint: End with "g") This question is a great summary of what happens, in steps, in congestive heart failure. a. narrowed bicuspid valve makes the L atrium pump harder in order to "push" blood into the L ventricle through an opening that is too narrow. b. pressure of the extra, backed up blood in the lung creates pressure in the capillaries that begin to leak fluid into the lung. c. extra "left-over" blood in the atrium that has not descended into the ventricle after a beat has nowhere to go. d. congenital heart defect causes a narrowed bicuspid valve e. not all blood gets "pushed" from the L atrium to the L ventricle during a regular heart beat f. blood that backed up in the L atrium with nowhere to go backs up further, into the pulmonary veins and eventually into the lung g. the patient gets less oxygen with each breath, feels tired all the time and is…
